I was wondering if anyone has used a cooling mod? I searched and found one on ebay, I really don't like my bike running up to 120deg before the fan kicks on, I live in Houston, tx where it's freaking 80 when u wake up and 110 around 3!

I know you meant 220, it's actually 224 I think but anyway there are many people on here that have. Do a search for "fan switch mod" in the "Appearance and Mods" section. Plenty of info and "how-to" there and you can do it without having to buy the ebay kit.

get a switch remove left side fairing. find a white connector near the radiator. use T connector and connect an extra wire into green/yellow wire run to switch. run another wire to a ground (i use the one behind the gauge cluster) and your set. sounds iffy cause your tapping into an important wire. but its not that hard. plus run a search and theres a thread that goes into more detail

I've got the fan switch but my fans only cool the bike down while I'm moving. If I leave them on while stopped then the bike heats up like normal.

I did the fan switch mod about a month ago, works very well! I flip on the fans when it gets near 200F and then it comes down pretty quickly.

I only have one plug going into the radiator, i tapped into one wire there, and the wire going to the fan , going to a 2 pole 15a. switch, grounded, it comes on and off, and temp gauge is reading really high even though its cold.

It was really simple, sometimes I read directions and make it more difficult than what it is, lol...
